Cal Poly Business Students Take First Place
in Collegiate Sales Competition
SAN LUIS OBISPO - Orfalea College of Business students won first
place for Cal Poly at the Second Annual California Collegiate Sales
Competition at CSU Sacramento on April 7.
James
Manley of San Jose and Lauren Ralyea of Alamo competed with 17 other
students from seven universities to sell ADP Payroll Services and
Federated Insurance to business sponsors in videotaped role-playing
scenarios. Ralyea took overall third runner-up at the competition,
winning $800. Manley took first place, winning $500 for selling
insurance.
In January, Manley and Ralyea, as well as several other Cal Poly
business students, learned selling skills from marketing faculty
Brian Tietje and Lisa Simon. The sales training culminated in Cal
Poly's Sales Competition in February, when nine competitors tested
their skills selling payroll services to sales training and competition
sponsor Pam Bettencourt from Moore-Wallace.
